You will find the entire list later in this post. Before that, let’s have a look at the highlights. These figures are stunning.

82 titles out of 100 Kindle bestsellers are available via Kindle Unlimited subscription,

all top 10 titles on the list are Kindle Unlimited eligible,

there is only one book in Top 20 that’s not included in Kindle Unlimited,

25 out of 30 titles from Mystery, Thriller & Suspense category are included in Kindle Unlimited,

Harry Potter books are Kindle Unlimited eligible, and six of them are in the Top 100, except The Deathly Hallows.

The list opens with The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. It will surely become the No. 1 Kindle bestseller of 2017, due to the popularity of Hulu’s TV series and the revival of dystopian novels.

The third place is taken by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Without Kindle Unlimited, you’ll pay for the book $8.99. If you subscribe, you pay a monthly fee of $9.99. Read the second Harry Potter book in the same month, and you already start saving.

I deliberately bypassed the No. 2 title on the list, as it’s worth a longer discussion. It’s Beneath a Scarlet Sky, a novel by Mark Sullivan, released in May by Lake Union Publishing.

Books by famous authors, such as J. K. Rowling or Margaret Atwood, are still an exception on the list of Kindle Unlimited ebooks.

Instead, you will find plenty of titles that were either published via Amazon’s own self-publishing platform or released by one of Amazon’s own publishing imprints.

In other words, if you want to read new books by Liane Moriarty, James Patterson, or John Grisham – the books from big-name authors released by big publishers – you will have to buy them separately because they are not included in Kindle Unlimited.

Kindle Unlimited is developing at a fast pace. The subscription costs $9.99 a month, but you can also buy longer (and it means cheaper) plans. And it’s worth waiting for shopping seasons such as Prime Day or Cyber Monday when you can save even 40%.

Since the launch of Kindle Unlimited in 2014, the number of subscribers has grown to such a level that it started to affect Kindle bestseller lists. Just have a look at the number of Kindle Unlimited books on the annual lists of Top 100 Kindle bestsellers.
